It was always a FM source. I think it varied which program though. It’s been that long since it did it that I may be miss remembering. I’m sure Rudy wrote a post about this on your blog.

 

Hi Lee,

I finally found Rudy's post that I think you are referring to

This is what I ment, as I remember so far is that the Amp, after connected to mains AND switched ON within the first minute, the unit shut down after a few minuts like it switched on when just conneted to mains...

hope you understand what I mean ;-))

Hi Christian,

So your problem is the opposite of the auto-turn-on then.
Your Beomaster 8000 issue sounds more like

Hi, personally i never noticed this.

Thanks for responding.

Have you had your Beomaster 8000 in service long?

My Beomaster 8000 started randomly switching itself on (always to FM P3) a few years back when it was in regular use in the dining room.

A certain Mr. Jarman told me to check two things - firstly make sure that it wasn't sitting in direct sunlight as this can sometimes activate the remote sensor. It was at the back of the room and well shaded, so this was not the issue.

His second suggestion was to change the battery in the remote handset as he said that, as these run down, they can cause the handset to do odd things, including sending our random commands on its own!

I changed the battery - no more problems.

This was a relief as, the first couple of times it did it, my wife was away and hearing random talking late at night in a house in the middle of nowhere in the countryside when you're on your own is a bit unnerving!

I have and update...

I checked with a couple of the owners that are in the group of four Beomaster 8000 units that are experiencing the auto-turn-on problem.
They had already tested their issue with the remote control out of the equation. Either in a drawer or batteries removed. The problem remained.

I am still waiting for someone with the problem to try removing transistor 6TR26 and see if that solves it.  That will disconnect the BM8000 remote control receiver circuit from the Microcomputer board.

Yes I have noticed that. But the original LEDs did it too although much less bright so only really noticeable in a very dark room.
